i just took a class in english and we studied this.....

You could try looking up stuff from Byron. Samuel Coleridge also used a lot of dark imagery in his writings. If I can think of anymore Ill update you.

Hope I helped a little.

The conqueror Worm

Edgar Allen Poe

The last line:

The play is the tragedy man, and it's hero the conqueror Worm


I love this poems, and the basic gist is that the only thing that saves humans from ourselves is death.

I second shelley. Lots of Victorian era poets were dark.
